  • Title: Ligamentous injuries to the lateral aspect of the ankle: the ankle sprain.
    Author: Brand RL.
    Journal: J Med Assoc Ga; 1992 Jun; 81(6):293-5. PubMed ID: 1607842.
    Abstract:
    Good protective devices are available which will prevent or reduce the severity of ankle sprains. If an injury to the lateral ligaments of the ankle--an ankle sprain--is sustained, functional treatment with early tape support, followed by a plastic support device will return the vast majority of the injured athletes to competition rapidly and with a stable ankle. In a few cases, surgical repair is the most appropriate treatment to return the individual to his chosen endeavor with a stable ankle.
